Wow! You guys are all over the place over this dumb thing. Suddenly there’s generations of sentimentality over this low quality, entry level toy train that 200 people bought???? It’s a family heirloom from Menards! This wasn’t a true beta test. Menards SOLD this. It wasn’t “offered” to only the forum. It wasn’t given. “In the spirit of.....” Some people have lost their minds over this. People paid money for it. Some of those people paid money and were left with a dud. You get that Menards made money on this, right? Menards gets free product feedback AND they made money off the product to get it! It wasn’t a special gift that your great grandfather hand made..... These posts are so ridiculous!

Spot on! The drama over this is stunning. And I totally agree with your assessment on this particular low end toy train.

And now sanctimonious sermons on how to spend our money. eek
